Donald Trump has been indicted for his efforts to overturn the 2020 Election; the indictment is extremely thorough and, legal experts seem to agree, indefensible. Today, he was arraigned in Federal Court, in Washington, D.C., and was told that the trial judge, a no-nonsense jurist, will set a trial date when the prosecutors and defense attorneys meet on August 28.
Donald Trump is a bully, perhaps the most egregious bully many of us have ever witnessed Bullies are wimps. Trump, pampered throughout his life, is outwardly pompous but, I strongly suspect, inwardly a coward.
Faced with a strong indictment, a strict judge and a trial date well before the 2024 election, I project that Trump will plead guilty. The prospect of prison will overwhelm him.
Disclaimer: My projection was totally (and sadly) wrong back in 2016.
